Ground charcoal is an item used during The Dig Site. It is obtained by grounding normal charcoal with a pestle and mortar. It is used in The Dig Site quest where it is necessary to make Chemical compound (along with nitroglycerin, ammonium nitrate and arcenia root) to blow up bricks blocking the path below the digsite. It can also be used in Recipe for Disaster/Freeing the Goblin generals when Mudknuckles asks for charcoal.
